Summary
The documentation provides a balanced overview of migrating to Flexible orchestration in Virtual Machine Scale Sets, but there are subtle signs of Windows bias. Windows-specific scenarios (such as VM activation and Windows updates) are mentioned before Linux equivalents (e.g., Linux package manager access), and there are no explicit Linux-focused migration examples or CLI commands. All command-line examples use Azure CLI, which is cross-platform, but the documentation does not provide Linux-specific considerations or troubleshooting steps, nor does it mention Linux tools or patterns where relevant.
Recommendations
  • Add explicit Linux migration scenarios, such as handling SSH keys, cloud-init, or Linux-specific VM extensions.
  • When listing outbound connectivity requirements, mention Linux package manager access before or alongside Windows activation and updates.
  • Include troubleshooting steps or references for common Linux VM migration issues (e.g., hostname changes, network configuration, package updates).
  • Provide examples of Linux VM extension usage or configuration in Flexible orchestration mode.
  • Ensure that any references to PowerShell are accompanied by Bash/Azure CLI equivalents, if relevant.
